Two identical photo-cathodes receive light of frequencies $f_1$ and $f_2$. If the velocities of the photoelectrons (of mass $m$) coming out are respectively $v_1$ and $v_2$,then:

  • A
    $v_1 - v_2 = [\frac{2h}{m}(f_1 - f_2)]^{1/2}$
  • B
    $v_1^2 - v_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(f_1 - f_2)$
  • C
    $v_1 + v_2 = [\frac{2h}{m}(f_1 + f_2)]^{1/2}$
  • D
    $v_1^2 + v_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(f_1 + f_2)$
